The family claimed that the daughter was kidnapped following a dispute with another person in their village in Sujawal. Her kidnapper was later killed in another dispute and the attacker then took their daughter and married her off to someone else, they said.

Neither the police nor local representatives helped them in any way, the family said.

Jummah Khan finally saw his daughter on Friday, but he suffered a heart attack upon meeting her.

Taking the body from the court premises proved to be another challenge for the family, as the court’s ambulance wasn’t available.
